The results of operations for the three months and nine months ended March 31, 2006 and cash flows for the nine months ended March 31, 2006 are not necessarily indicative of the results for the entire fiscal year ending June 30, 2006.

NOTE 3 - NOTE PAYABLE - BANK

Effective June 3, 2005, the Company has a line-of-credit agreement with an original maturity date of June 3, 2006. The line-of-credit is collateralized by certain equipment and bears interest at an annual rate of 6%. At March 31, 2006, the outstanding balance on the line-of-credit was $-0-.

NOTE 4 - FORGIVABLE LOAN

During 2004, the Company received a $25,000 economic development incentive from Buchanan County, which is a five year forgivable loan at a rate of $5,000 per year. The Company has met the criteria of occupying a 20,000 square foot building and the criteria of creating a minimum of two new full-time equivalent jobs during the first year of operations in the new facility. In addition, the Company must maintain 19 existing jobs each year thereafter until the five year term has expired. Once the Company is no longer legally entitled to return the monies, the liability is reclassified as deferred revenue and amortized into income over the life of the lease term of the new facility the forgivable loan related to. At March 31, 2006, $5,000 has been reclassified to deferred revenue and $325 has been amortized into income.

NOTE 5 - LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

On December 16, 2005, a lawsuit was filed by 3600 S. Leonard Road, LLC., (the Plaintiff) against the Company in the Circuit Court of Buchanan County, Missouri. The Plaintiff alleges that the Company failed to honor certain sections of a lease agreement entered into between the Plaintiff, as owner and landlord of the premises subject to the lease agreement, and the Company, as tenant to the premises. The Plaintiff is seeking damages in an amount in excess of $200,000. The Company has filed a response with the Circuit Court denying all material allegations made by the Plaintiff. A status review hearing was held March 15, 2006 in the Circuit Court where upon the Judges ruled for the parties to meet to agree to a scheduling order. The Company believes the claim is without merit and intends to contest it vigorously, however the outcome of this lawsuit cannot be predicted at this time.

CHASE GENERAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARY

ITEM 2. - MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS ON PLAN OF OPERATION (CONTINUED)

NET SALES

Net sales decreased $76,791 or 19% for the three months ended March 31, 2006 to $319,365 compared to $396,156 for the three months ended March 31, 2005. Gross sales for Chase Candy Company decreased $71,370 to $330,035 for the three months ended March 31, 2006 compared to $401,405 for 2005. Gross sales for Poe Candy Company increased $1,547 to $4,115 for the three months ended March 31, 2006 compared to $2,568 for 2005.

Net sales decreased $112,984 or 5% for the nine months ended March 31, 2006 to $2,001,494 compared to $2,114,478 for the nine months ended March 31, 2005. Gross sales for Chase Candy Company decreased $120,475 to $1,157,774 for the nine months ended March 31, 2006 compared to $1,278,249 for 2005. Gross sales for Poe Candy Company increased $16,505 to $885,424 for the nine months ended March 31, 2006 compared to $868,919 for 2005.

The 19% decrease in net sales of $76,791 for the three month period ended March 31, 2006, over the same period ended March 31, 2005, is primarily due to Chase orders received in the current quarter from a customer changing a standard order from a 24 count packaging bag to a 12 count packaging bag, which resulted in less volume. In addition, the Company’s returns and allowances increased $4,741 or 36% for the three month period ended March 31, 2006, compared to $13,306 for the three months ended March 31, 2005. Year to date net sales had a slight decrease of 5% without any loss of significant customers.

COST OF SALES

The cost of sales decreased $37,442 to $322,403 increasing to 101% of related revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2006, compared to $359,845 or 91% of related revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2005. The cost of sales decreased $7,821 to $1,571,578 increasing to 78% of related revenues for the nine months ended March 31, 2006, compared to $1,579,399 or 75% of related revenues for the nine months ended March 31, 2005.

The higher percentage for cost of sales is anticipated due to the increased costs of labor rates of 3-4%, shipping costs of 12%, occupancy costs 14%, and production supplies of 8% to date. The multiple increases in rates for fuel and petroleum products have caused the increases for shipping and production supply cost.
